This book is for concerned citizens looking to better understand peace and conflict at home and abroad and how constructive and destructive conflict shapes the world around us. Dr. Adams is a new and authentic voice for our times providing human-level explanations. He shares his experienced-based insights with us dedicated to more informed and peaceful engagements in human affairs at any level.

Part memoir and part analysis of peace and conflict issues, conveyed in an engaging personalized writing style, this book draws on the author’s life journey working in conflict zones and his dedication to better understanding peace and conflict. This citizens edition is a cautionary tale for a conflicted America and world and reflects the author’s efforts to create innovative ways that people can better see and understand their conflict circumstances and peacebuilding possibilities. Peace and Conflict: Citizens Edition is an original and thought-provoking approach to the subject. Informative and hopeful, told with wit and humor, Adams invites readers into a discussion of personal experiences and social and political dynamics from both a human and conceptual perspective. For those seeking more technical explanations, a unique framework is laid out in structural and relationship terms, within negative and positive peace parameters, along a war to sustainable positive peace continuum.

James R. Adams, PhD, a Vietnam veteran and professional field officer, has extensive on-the-ground experience in peace and stabilization operation roles with the United Nations and other international organizations in Africa, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
